Good Luck!

A long serving member of the office staff left recently. This is the card that I made for the staff to sign.

Mini Japanese Landscape Tag

For my final sample using the new Mini Japanese Landscape stamps, I built up a scene on a tag using the set with the tiny cats.

#dailyatc2026 Third Month Complete

I have completed my second month of this year's challenge to myself - a daily ATC, following the prompts over on 365 days of drawing prompts and other art and using Clarity stamps, stencils and stickers.  Here are my offerings for the second half of March.

The Moon Tonight

I have prepped the backgrounds for my April ATCs using Honeycomb, Sunshine Yellow and Sunset Orange Alcohol inks.

 

WOYWW 878/98: Happy Easter

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

Looking forward to Neet feeling well enough to join in again soon - you are missed.

My PJ day last Thursday was interrupted when I remembered that I had a ticket to go and see Six at the theatre.  I did get a decent lie in though.  #3 son has been really generous with his cold so I am feeling a little under the weather this week.  Hoping to feel better by tomorrow so I can go and see Mum - if not it will be Easter Sunday Lunch with her and two of my siblings instead.

The Moon Tonight

I have prepped the backgrounds for my April ATCs using Honeycomb, Sunshine Yellow and Sunset Orange Alcohol inks.

Apart from prepping my ATC backgrounds for April I can't really show any desk action.  The engaged couple haven't seen their card yet and the ATC that I have made for a swap hasn't been posted yet.

Stay safe, Happy WOYWW and Happy Easter everyone.

April Inky Calendar Page

For my inky April calendar page in my Clarity calendar blank, I started with one of the Spring/Summer Backdrop Prints (31804).

Metal Flake Lotus Panel

For my final play with the Panel Stencils which are one of Clarity's April Products of the Month, I used metal flakes to produce a dramatic effect.

Rainbow Allium Stencil

I made another card using the new size of Theuva card from Clarity Crafts.

Butterfly Stencil Panel Card

For my second sample using the Clarity April Product of the Month Panel Stencils, I used part of a panel on a 6" x 6" white card blank.

Wrap Round Good Luck Card

One of the Clarity April products of the month is a collection of four fabulous panel stencils.  There is a new size of card which fits them perfectly and I turned  a piece into this good luck card.

Rainbow Cats!

I had real fun creating this rainbow card using the tiny cats that are on one of the Mini Japanese Landscape stamp sets from Clarity Crafts.

WOYWW 877/97: Last Week of Term

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

Wishing Neet a steady recovery! 

My craft desk is bare!  Apart from secret stuff for Clarity and the #dailyatc2026 it has seen no action in the last week.  So I thought I would show you my work bag instead - by the front door ready to go.

My desk will see some action after today. #1 son and his girlfriend got engaged while on holiday in Thailand so I will need to get moving on a card before they return on Sunday.

Hoping to have a PJ day again tomorrow as there is not such a rush on the next lot of Clarity stuff.

Stay safe - I will visit on Friday when I am at Mum's as usual.  Happy WOYWW.

Mini Japanese Scenes

I used two of the tags from the Spring/Summer Landscapes Backdrop Prints set as a starting point for these mini makes using the new Mini Japanese Landscape stamps from Clarity Crafts.

A Mini Japanese Scene

March is Japan Month at Clarity and these new Mini Japanese Landscape stamps are such fun to work with.  I combined them with one of the Dusk & Dawn Landscape Toppers to create this birthday card.

Happy Mother's Day

This is the card I made for Mum this year.

Groovi Club Wedding Card

I was so determined to use my February 2026 Clarity Groovi club plate before my March plate arrived and I just got in under the wire as they arrived the next day.

SHAC and Doodle Rounds: Ideas and Inspiration

 I thought I would share some projects using some of the products Deb has on her shows today on Clarity Crafts Social TV.  As usual the link to each project is below the photo.

Leaf Doodle Rounds (see HERE).

A Spring Journal Page

 The fortnightly prompt over on Try It On Tuesday is Spring and I was kindly asked to be a guest on the DT for this theme.  I decided to make a journal page using Clarity products for my contribution.

WOYWW 876/96: Cream Crackered

Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness.  Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.

Thinking of Neet and wishing her a continued recovery!

Not so much a desk as a partial round up of Saturday's escapades.  A fabulous workshop with Tilly Tea Dance followed a a recorder afternoon and then off to pick up Mum and see my brother playing oboe in his first concert in many years with the City of Lichfield Wind Band.  The standard was amazing!

Honeycomb

Martini

I must admit that I am only keeping up with my #dailyatc2026 challenge by making four on a Sunday.  I am far too exhausted after work to even think about going out to the shed.  So far I have been asleep by 8pm for the first two days of work.  Wednesday is my heaviest day with 5 lessons, a form and it is also my duty day.  I also move between 5 rooms unlike a Monday and Tuesday where I am in the same one all day.  Hoping to visit at the weekend if I don't have too many samples to make.

Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.
